Separate checks to the U.S. Department of State and Ozaukee County are required. Our office cannot accept credit cards or debit cards. By law, the passport processing fee and execution fees are nonrefundable.

Requirements

All applicants must appear in person. Along with the passport application, you must submit the following:

One photograph

Photocopy of the identification document presented

Proof of identity

Proof of U.S. citizenship

Applicable fees (personal check or money order payable to U.S. Department of State)

Proof of U.S. Citizenship

A certified copy of a birth certificate issued by the county or state serves as evidence of citizenship. It must have the seal of the issuing office and the filing or registration date, which must be within one year of birth. If you are 18 or older and have an expired passport, you are required to submit the passport rather than a birth certificate.

When submitting an expired passport or a Certificate of Naturalization / citizenship for an applicant under the age of 18, you must include a certified copy of the child's birth certificate, which includes the names of the parents. Please see the application for additional information for obtaining a passport for a child under the age of 18.

Naturalized citizens must present their original Naturalization Certificate. All evidence of citizenship will be returned with your passport. It is to be noted that hospital, baptismal, birth registrations, or photocopies of birth certificates are not acceptable.

Proof of Identity

Identification that includes your signature and physical description or photograph such as a valid driver's license or a federal, state, or municipal identification card qualifies as proof of identity. The photocopy must be of the ID document that you will present when you apply. The photocopy must be on plain white, 8 1/2 inch by 11 inch standard paper stock, showing the front and the back of your ID. Photocopy must contain images on only one-side of each page submitted.

If copies cannot be made on the same side of one page, you may present two separate pages; one displaying the front of the ID and the second displaying the back of the ID. The county clerk's office will make a copy of your ID document for an additional fee.

One professional passport photo (2 inches x 2 inches) is required. The Ozaukee County Clerk's Office does offer this service for a fee of $12. Digitized photos will be accepted at the discretion of passport services. School photos are not acceptable. Complete all requested information on the application form. If all requirements are not met, the county clerk's office cannot accept the application for processing. Passport photos of customers wearing eye glasses will not be accepted.
